Types of Investment Fraud Charges

Investment fraud is defined as the intentional use of deception to persuade
investors to make financial decisions based on false information. In other
words, individuals who convince others to invest money—by way of
false information—into something they know either doesn’t
exist or not what the money is intended for can be charged with investment fraud.

The Securities and Exchange Commission is mainly responsible for prosecuting
securities fraud. While the state of New York has their own set of laws
regarding securities fraud, these crimes are often prosecuted as federal
crimes. In most cases, the standard prison sentence is five years per offense.
